The Incredible Makeover

Alright, if you are not doing anything and really want to help a couple guys out, feel free to mossy on over to The Incredible Makeover contest and vote for me and Rob Gervais. We submitted one of the pages from our Seeds of Change project for a before and after contest hosted by Photoshop and Wacom. Rob wrote the story and I did all of the art work. Even if we don't win we are hoping people will get a chance to check out some of the art work for our project.
It will give you a little peek into how I start with simple inks  and then digitally color it in photoshop.

So take a look and give us a vote. The name of our submission is "Seeds of Change" by Joe Romano II. Thanks everybody! You ROCK!!

Oh, and feel free to give it 5 stars if you like!! Just a humble suggestion.

Healthy Hannah's Fitness Fables

We are off to the printers! I just sent in the final illustrations for "Healthy Hannah's Fitness Fables" a children's book I worked on with my buddies Jay and Hannah England! Jay and Hannah have created a really fun, health and wellness book for kids and I had the honor of bringing their characters to life. We have been working our butts off for quite awhile and are really pumped to finally send this out to the printers today. We should have a sample copy in two weeks. Hopefully everything looks good and we can start getting this book out and helping kids live a healthy life style. Super pumped. Here is a sneak peek at the cover and back wrap around!!!

Balkenator Promo

Here is a little sample of a project I am working on with my buddy the very talented Jeff Balke. I did the pencils and inks and Jeff did all of the color work. It's really cool working with someone and seeing how they color your images. Jeff is amazing at what he does. I'll post some more on our project soon.

Later,

Joe
